It was actually one action, and one diplomatic overture.
Germany was attacking neutral US ships without warning, after promising not to. And in an apparent attempt to deflect the US, the Germans offered an alliance to Mexico, as detailed in the Zimmerman Telegram intercepted by the British.
The Germans sunk the Lusitania believing that it carried supplies to Britain as well as arms in order to help the war effort. It was carrying some American passengers when it was torpedoed, and this led to America joining the war. However, Germany may have been justified, as the ship may have actually been supplying Britain with much needed supplies in direct disregard of the sanctions imposed by Germany. In any effect, both the Lusitania and the Zimmerman affair swung American popular opinion in favor of interceding (effectively) in the conflict.

Two key German actions that prompted the U.S. to enter World War I were unrestricted submarine warfare and the Zimmermann Telegram. Germany's resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare in early 1917 led to the sinking of American merchant ships, heightening tensions. Additionally, the interception of the Zimmermann Telegram, in which Germany proposed a military alliance with Mexico against the U.S., further inflamed public opinion and pushed the U.S. towards war.

German is pne of the main languages used by the dutch. and they all had a part in world war 2. Which was mostly caused by the French's actions at the end of world war one. World war one was partially caused by the effect the French leader Napolean had on Europe after his bit of empire expansion.
